Inventory Positioning, Scheduling and Due-Date Quotation in Supply Chains

چکیده
We consider supply chain networks composed of several centrally managed production facilities as well as external suppliers. We design effective heuristics for inventory positioning, order sequencing, and short and reliable due date quotation for this supply chain. We perform extensive computational testing to assess the effectiveness of our algorithms, and we explore the impact of supply chain topology on inventory costs and effective due date quotation.

Inventory positioning, scheduling and lead-time quotation in supply chains
We consider supply chain networks composed of several centrally managed production facilities as well as external suppliers. We design effective heuristics for inventory positioning, order sequencing, and short and reliable due-date quotation for this supply chain. We perform extensive computational testing to assess the effectiveness of our algorithms, and we explore the impact of supply chain...
متن کاملMTO-MTS Production Systems in Supply Chains
Increasing cost pressures have led supply chain managers to focus on running increasingly lean and efficient supply chains, with minimal inventory. Indeed, more and more firms are relying on pull or make-toorder (MTO) supply chains to minimize cost and waste. At the same time, increasing competitive pressures are leading to an increased emphasis on customer service. An important element of cust...
متن کاملCentralized Versus Decentralized Scheduling and Due Date Quotation in a Make-to-Order Supply Chain
Although there is a vast and growing amount of literature on supply chain coordination, the majority of this literature focuses on make-to-stock systems and performance measures built around service and inventory levels. On the other hand, an increasing number of supply chains are better characterized as make-to-order systems. Fast and on-time delivery is obviously critical for any firm that op...
متن کاملCAREER: Scheduling of Large-Scale Systems: Probabilistic Analysis and Practical Algorithms for Due Date Quotation
We present a novel single facility due-date quotation model and algorithm, and characterize the effectiveness of this algorithm employing the tools of probabilistic analysis. This model is intended to be a building block for the models that we will use to analyze due date quotation in make-to-order supply chains, and we present a summary of these models.
متن کاملSimultaneous Due Date Assignment and Lot Sizing with Uncertain Flow Times
Due date assignment for customer orders has been studied in various productionenvironments using different modeling approaches. In this paper the researchers consider aproduction system in which the orders of several customers are produced in a single batch because ofthe economy of scale. If a batch is completed before receiving customer orders, inventory carryingcost is incurred but if it is c...
